Medical Technology impacted World War I by helping the U.S. soldiers get back to the war faster and preventing diseases.
During the war they used various types of equipment such as ambulances to get the soldiers to the doctor, sanitation products, and saws for other medical purposes.
As they where advancing in the war, they discovered new types of technology. In WorldWarI people saw a major improvement in the treatment of combat wounds as a result of better surgical methods and antisepsis, the use of X-rays, tetanus antitoxin and blood transfusions, and the more rapid evacuation of the wounded by motorized ambulances to hospitals. ("Medicine of World War I, 1917.") Blood transfusions were possible at this time but they didn't always go smoothly. They did know about the different types of blood but they didn't have machines like we have now. They directly took blood from the donor and put it into the patient. ("Medicine of World War I, 1917.") This could be dangerous because they could have something harmful in the blood and if the doctors didn't check the blood the patient could get a disease. Then if The patient needed lots of blood at one time it would take a long time to get the blood from one person to another. The Influenza pandemic made people realize that they needed to do more research and sciences. This helped scientists find more vaccines and antiseptic surgery techniques. (Billings, Molly) This is good that they created these vaccines because it helped us in the future. We could have had another pandemic or more people could have died but they didn't because of the vaccine. I would like to know who came up with the idea of the vaccines and how they treated the influenza. Then Typhoid fever was making lots of people sick. Luckily many of the doctors kept checking and monitoring the sanitation of the drinking water so not as many people were effected by the illness. Then they developed arshenamine for teating syphilis which made it to where its long-term effects weren't as damaging. ("Medicine of World War I, 1917.")
Some of the people that helped with doctoring the soldiers was The American Medical Association and the American College. They made efforts to better the medical techniques on the battle field.They had surgeons and the U.S. Public Health Service and together they formed the medical centers in the U.S. ("Medicine of World War I, 1917.") In 1914 they started to provide doctors of different practices. The doctors would go out and buy different kinds of equipment and then the patient could decide whether they wanted a specialist or not. ("Medicine in World War 1.") On the battle field each army commander had aviation officers as a member of their staff. These officers would coordinate air operations, prescribe tactics, negotiate for flying fields, and locate supplies and replacements. ("World War One." The Academic American Encyclopedia) For the use of ambulances cars were donated to be used for injured soldiers. Ambulances were received from multiple businesses such as charities and breweries. Wealthy families were able to give chauffers to their solder in the war. ("Medical History.")
In early 1900s not very many people had healthcare or life insurance. This means that they couldn't have a proper funeral. The people who were insured were not covered by their business but by local chapters of unions. The first event of businesses related to healthcare was with compensation. (payments to workers who are injured on the job.). ("Medicine in World War 1.") The Influenza Pandemic was a terrible era. it killed tons of people. The funerals had a limited time and the bodies were being stacked up by the minute. finally the came out with gaze masks and that helped a little with the airborne situation. They were losing healthcare workers and other supplies for all of the people that were dying. (Billings, Molly) This is such a sad time because lots of people died and they didn't really get to have a good funeral with their loved ones. They only had 15 minutes to complete the funeral. I think it was good that they made the gaze masks so it at least save some of the lives that were lost.
All of these things improved and impacted World War I. The ambulances helped get people to doctors faster and using sanitation products helped keep some of the disease down. All of these techniques and technology is now helping our science improvements and advances and making them possible because we have learned from their mistakes and improvements.
